Brazil have showed that they will be extremely difficult to beat on home soil at the 2014 World Cup after knocking off the Socceroos 6-0 at the Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha in Brasilia.

The Australians were under consistent pressure with Jo scoring a brace and Neymar, Ramires, Alexandro Pato and Luis Gustavo all getting their name on the scoresheet.

Jo opened the scoring on 8 minutes as Neymar beat Ryan McGowan down the left before chipping the ball to the far post.

The cross found Bernard on the volley whose shot deflected off the woodwork and falling into the path of Jo who tapped in the opener.

With the Socceroos struggling to get into the game a poor pass from Brett Holman in the midfield saw possession turned over as Bernard sped down the right wing.

The forward crossed the ball to a wide open Jo who put it past Schwarzer to have his and Brazil-s second in the 34th minute.

It was 3-0 a minute later as Neymar got in behind the Socceroos defense and set up a one-on-one with Schwarzer, beating the Aussie veteran low and to the right.

It was more of the same in the second half as the Brazilians continued to put pressure on the Socceroos defense and when Maxwell crossed the ball in from the left it was 4-0 for Brazil as Ramires headed home.

Ramires was then unlucky to not get his second a minute later as he hit the upright as his side maintained a dominant share of possession deep in the Socceroos half.

The Selecao had their fifth goal when a give-and-go between Neymar and Hernanes saw Neymar pull it back for substitute Alexandro Pato who hit it low into the back of the net with 72 minutes gone.

The fluent passing from the Brazilians continued as the best goal was saved for last.

Luis Gustavo received the ball just outside the box and drilled it into the top left corner beating an outstretched Schwarzer as the rout was complete.

The Brazilians had two thirds of possession, almost double the Socceroos passes and never let their opponents into the match.

Holger Osieck's focus now turns to the Socceroos next friendly against France on October 11 while Brazil take on Portugal this Wednesday.
